Is your air-conditioner installed by authorized installer?

And is the installation of approved methods?

Improper air-conditioner installation and negligence in maintenance can be a time bomb threatening other’s safety or creates noise nuisance to your neighbors. Flat owners can be penalized if an air-conditioner falls because of improper maintenance, and improper air-conditioner unit installation can carry a maximum penalty of a fine of up to $5000 or up to six months of jail-term or both.
